Christy WeaverGuiding Consideration for the District Remote/Virtual Learning Plan
• Pivot to remote/virtual mode will be implemented during a district closure lasting more than three consecutive school days due to a
declared state of emergency, declared public health emergency, or a directive by the appropriate health agency or officer to institute a
public health-related closure. As a requirement of P.L.2020, c.27, this law and the plan provides for the continuity of instruction in
the event of a public-health related district closure, in addition to COVID.
• Remote/virtual learning will only be used when the district is unable to
o Provide for the health and safety of students and staff to the greatest extent possible
o Retain in-person instruction to the greatest extent possible in accordance with social distancing guidelines and requirements of
governing bodies such as NJ Dept. of Health, Camden County Dept. of Health, NJ Dept. of Education, NJ Statute, Executive
orders by the Governor of NJ
It should be noted that the guidance provided may be at odds with each other and other agency requirements (ex. NJMVC, Fire Safety, Office
of School Preparedness) and that the full plan is reviewed as needed based on the current situation and guidance. Due to the COVID-19
virus, the Pandemic situation is ever changing and highly fluid due to the constant flow of information and changing guidelines. Alterations in
the plan and information contained in this document are subject to change upon receipt of updated guidelines. The intent is to provide the
Clementon School District Board of Education and community with a current overview of the remote/virtual instructional plan in order to
assist all parties in planning appropriately for a smooth transition to this learning platform during the 2022-2023 school year.
This plan is based on based upon the current guidance and guidelines of the entities listed below and subject to change at their direction:
• Executive Orders of the Governor of New Jersey
• New Jersey Department of Education (DOE)
• Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
• American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP)
• New Jersey and Camden County Departments of Health
Additional guidance has been provided by:
• Parker McCay, for Legal Guidance
• New Jersey School Boards Association
• New Jersey Association of School Administrators
